The Canada market at a glance
Medians across the 8 Canada markets we hold live listing data for. Figures are converted to GBP so cities compare like for like.
The spread matters more than the average: a median listing in Vancouver grosses £20,073 a year, against £8,366 in Winnipeg. Which end of that range a property lands on depends on the street, not the country.

Canada short-let questions
Which Canada city earns the most on Airbnb?
Vancouver. A median listing there grosses £20,073 a year, the highest of the 8 Canada markets we track.
What occupancy should I expect in Canada?
The median across Canada markets with live data is 34.3%. Individual cities vary widely, and occupancy within a city varies more than between cities — the street matters more than the market.
How many Airbnb listings are there in Canada?
36,164 active listings across the 8 Canada markets we track — counting only listings with at least one booking in the last 12 months, so dormant listings don't inflate the figure.
Methodology: per-city medians are computed from the latest Inside Airbnb snapshot, filtered to active listings (≥1 booking in the last 12 months). Annual revenue is the median per-listing gross.
